Considering A Position In Payroll?

When you’re considering a potential career change, there will be many factors for you to think through. If you’re looking for a skilled position in which you will be part of a team performing a vital function, you may find that payroll positions hold the answer for you.

Every business needs payroll, whether it is an internal position within a small business, or a corporate role within a large payroll provider, and this can be a great option when you value job security. Talk to us at CareerWise about how you can find a great payroll position, and find out more about the qualifications and skills you’ll need. In Ireland, this is usually the IPASS Certificate in Payroll Techniques, which is a nationally recognised qualification.

What Can A Career In Payroll Offer?

1. Opportunities to develop. Many skills are useful within a payroll position, including accuracy, flexibility, and an ability to remain calm under pressure. The technical skills you will use may be developed as you progress, and with additional training and CPD, you will have the opportunity to develop further skills throughout your career.

2. A reliable career. In the current financial climate, many jobs are under threat or at risk of being side lined. Payroll, however, is an essential sector that will continue to develop as technology provides ever more sophisticated solutions that require increasingly skilled operatives.

3. Potential to develop. Every business needs payroll, so it isn’t just a great secure job, but a role that can offer opportunities for development throughout payroll providers and in individual businesses. You can map out a rewarding career path within the payroll sector, or you can be open to opportunities to develop your skills and use the knowledge you have acquired.

4. International opportunities. The potential for international work as part of a payroll team is excellent, since Ireland is home to many multinational businesses and many companies that operate within the EU. The options are numerous, and you will find that it is possible to develop your career in almost any direction when you become a payroll specialist.
